BREEDING Discomfort.

On the authority of a gentleman writ
ing from North Carolina, the Baltimore
Sun says: That emissaries from the
North are at work among the colored
people creating discomfort and race an
tipathies in the hope that benefit will
result therefrom to the Republican
party. There are several interests to be
promoted by such propaganda. Sena-
tor Sherman and Mr.. Blaine rely largely
upon an outcry of discomfort from the
colored voters of the South for an issue
in the next Presidential election, and
they are embarrassed by the circum-
stance that at present there is no discon-
tent and no outcry. But they can be
manufactured, and the work is now to
be taken in hand. If the colored man
were to vote the Republican ticket, it is
argued, he would somehow vote himself
higher wages, which would impair the
power OF the South to make cheap iron
and cotton cloth and would thus snstain
wages in Pennsylvania and Massachu-
sets. The Northern workman is ruined,
according to Mr.. Blaine, By colored
cheap labor. The theory is ingenious,
though baseless, and we may count on
the "emissaries" in North Carolina and
elsewhere producing in due time in the
New York Tribune blood-curdling &C.
counts of the low wages and poverty of
the colored employee of the South.

GIVE THE NAMES.

The entire Mormon press is persist
emily asserting that the Statehood move
ment is endorsed by all conservative
Gentiles and, in fact, by everybody, ex-
cept few office-seeking plunderers of the
Loyal League. This is probably upon
the theory that falsehood we'll stuck to
is better than the truth. The fact is,
there is not single Gentle in the Con-
stitutlonal Convention, nor did any
except Mormons take part in the
election of delegates. The falsehood
is an extremely fimsy and palpable
one, as not a Gentle name is cited as
favoring the movement. If there were
any, they would be paraded in the Nor
mon papers over sensational headlines,
and in the largest type in the offices.
The Statehood question is one, and, in
fact, about the only one. upon which
there is no division ! among the
anti-Mormon element. We chal-
lenge any Mormon paper in the
Territory to give the name OF q
single GENTLE OF any prominence what
ever, who has by worl or act indicated
his endorsement of the alleged Statehood
scheme.

THE GETTYSBURG ANNIVERSARY.

The veterans of the Philadelphia regi-
ments, who fought so well to cut short
Lees invasion of the North just twenty
four years ago, met on the old battle
field on Sunday and dedicated handsome
monuments to two of the most valorous
regiments. The old boys had grand
time, rallying in the "bloody angle" and
tramping over the field with their
hearts full, of the memories of
the bloody past. Gettysburg was prac-
tically the deciding battle Of the war, and
therefore the celebration of its anniver-
sary excites considerable interest on the
part of the whole country. Had the re-
suit Of that battle been different, the sue
cess of Lees northern invasion would
have been assured, and once having
gained strong stand in the Keystone
State it is doubtful if he would ever have
been subdued. But, though the fighting
on either side was equally brave,
and though the losses TO the
to the North were almost as great as
those sustained by the South, Lee found
that his command was too weak to pro-
ceed farther and so the retreat was be-
gun. 1t was that retreat that first told of
the falling resources and thinning ranks
OF the Confederate army.
The battle was one of the greatest dis
p!avs of valor ever shown to the
world, and was particularly marked
by the terrific charge of Pick
ett's brigade, the grandest military
cyclone that ever swept down upon an
enemy. The fighting was bitter, every
man struggling as he would in the de-
fense of his own lie, and the result was
emphatic in the history of the Union.
Remembering that Gettysburg was rs
it was, horrible, bloody strife, il is in
deed encouraging to see its anniversary
remembered in so peaceable ce'ebra-
tration as that of Sunday. 1t was
a hard blow to the wavers OF
the bloody shirt to see the
old "vetss" go back and tramp
over that old battle ground with nothing
in their hearts but good feeling for South
and North alike, and sincere desire to
see the mighty chasm filed up forever.
1t is such events as this that tell the
strength of the ties that bind the two Sec
tions, and show the growing determina-
ton to have no North and South, but in
their place, the one great and good

OUR SALT LAKE,

1t is probable, says a writer in the
Popular Science Monthly, that when the
continents were raised from the sea the
lake basins had been already formed, and
came up, therefore, brimful of water. In
the northern and eastern part of the conti-
nent, where the supply of rain and snow
TALL exceeds the loss by evaporation, the
salt, being continuously carried away
through their outlets, has become SO
diluted as to be an imperceptible guam
tity. In arid regions, as the Pacific
Slope and the country about the Caspian,
where the evaporation was in excess of
the supply, the water-level of the lakes
continuously sank until, on account of
the diminished extent of surface. the
equilibrium of loss and gain was at
tanned. Hence the exceeding saltness of
the Great Salt Lake, the Dead Sen, etc.
For a like reason the water of the
Mediterranean contains more salt rela-
lively than that of the ocean. Evapora-
ton exceeding the supplies from the
rivers and rainfall, it requires constant
current through the Strait of Gibraltar.
The same is true of the Red Sea, causing
like current through the Strait of Babel
mandeb.i Other salt or brackish lakes
probably owe their saltness to the sup
plies from the land. Water being the
most general Of all solvents, the rains
gather up the chloride of sodium from
the soils and the disintegregrating rocks,
and where the streams fall into lakes
whose only outlet is evaporation, the land
itself must be constant source of spIirFr
supply, and their waters hcII,.'.s'a same
and more salt, I6wtiaird ''-Socome more
solvent he OF TInGIl their capacity as a
Poe reaaas been reached. The Utah
Basin must once have been filed to its
brim with ocean-water. The outlet has
been evaporation. The lake, receding to
its present level, has left many evidences
OF its former extent.

A HEALTHY GHOST.

The Pioche Record copies from an ex.
change a sensational account of the
deaths Of some couple OF dozen of old-time
Nevadans, who we're prominent in the
early settlement of the great mining
districts in that State. Among other
inaccuracies it states that Kelse Austin
was killed and buried in Elko county
nearly fifteen years ago. If he was, he
is represented on earth by the toughest
and livliest ghost that ever revisited the
gimpses OF the moon (or SUM since the
nocturnal meanderings of Hamlet's royal
progenitor. If the writer OF ''The Ro-
nance of Gold' doubts this let him visit
Tuscarora, Nevada, and tackle the
alleged fifteen-year-old corpse in a game
of stud-horse poker. If he will, he will
at least become convinced that old
Kelse's ghost has a decidedly earthly
faculty for extracting percentage, mating
his buried card, and raking in pots.

JOHNNY READ, editor of the Butte
er-Mountain, who has lived here and
knows how the thing goes, thus puts up
the statehood scheme: "a Mormon con-
vention met yesterday in Salt Lake to
frame a constitution for a state. The
same thing was done some years ago,
but it ended in wind, Notwithstanding
the fact that it was called by divine
command and that the Lord by proxy
presided over the deliberations. +
The result, should the territory be ad-
mitted, will be the virtual confscation OF
all Gentle property and the forced de-
parture of every Gentle from the polyga-
nous territory"
The Gentiles have still got long time
to live here.

NO FIGHT.

The probabilities of war between
England and France over the Anglo
Turkish convention are not worth con-
sidering. There is good reason for be-
lieving that France does not like the idea
of such convention, but it need not 90
to war about it. By the terms of the
convention itself it is of no effect without
the sanction of all the powers. II France
so far disproves the convention as to re-
fuse its formal assent the agreement is
not worth the paper it is written on. If
France, for reasons OF its own, concludes

CARDS it as a permanent statute. He
says: "The first result was to place all
men more nearly on an equality with re-
spect to the advantages of the shipment
OF their products. The law is in sense
experimental, but it is declaration by
Congress OF its power over the subject,
and OF its determination that these priv
ileged corporations shall be conducted in
the interest OF the people. The act will
not be repealed, and if any persons or
corporations imagine that it will, thev
may as well dismiss that expectation.
Its substantial provisions have come to
stay" He further says that he does not
believe that the railroads are irving TO
make the law obnoxious, as they are now
beginning to adjust themselves to its
provisions, though they may have put
some stumbling blocks in the way at
FIRST. The Senator thinks that the roads
were SO used to having their own way
that it came hard to them to conform to
lAlO uSW EuIeS.
The fact of the matter is that the rail-
roads are more pleased with the law
than any one else, and if they did make
any effort to evade its provisions at first,
it is because they did not understand
what the effect would be. The law NAV
be beneftting shippers little, but if the
railroads are not reaping the greatest
benefit, then there is something very
strange about it. When all the great
railroads OF the country are running
along as smoothly as they are now, you
may be sure there is no great cause for
kicking, and when they are oppressed,
the country will be made aware OF it in
very decided way.

to give its assent that ends all talk of
dispute with England over the conven-
ton. Take it either way there does not
seem to be any possibility of war between
the two powers. Besides, both govern
ments deny any intention OF falling out
about the matter, and in addition the
two countries that least desire war with
each other, or could least afford it at the
present time, are France and England.

IT has been suggested to those who
have been looking upon Secretary Lamar
as the coming man for the Supreme
Bench that his age will be somewhat of
a bar. Mr.. Lamar is sixty-two years old,
and as several other prominent men
whose attainments and character were
considered to make them peculiarly suit
able for this position have been dropped
as unavailable on account of age, this
same objections, it is supposed, would ap-
ply to Mr.. Lamar. 1t is also rather doubt
full whether Mr.. Lamar would really care
for the place.
